Maine Man
John Maine pitched a gem today. In 6 innings he allowed 1 hit and 1 walk while striking out 7. He even picked off a runner at first. I’m feeling very good about the 4th slot in the rotation right now. If only the 5th slot would sort itself out.
Starting Rotation
Willie Randolph announced the starting pitching rotation after yesterday’s game. And it is: Johan Santana Pedro Martinez Oliver Perez John Maine ???? No surprises there except that Willie chose not to anoint a 5th starter despite having previously said he wants to name one by the start of the season. Both Orlando Hernandez and Mike […]
Mets Notes
Fernando Martinez was re-assigned to minor league camp yesterday along with Tony Armas Jr., who actually just arrived in camp the other day because of visa problems. John Maine struck out 7 in 5 innings yesterday. It’s becoming more apparent that Duaner Sanchez is running out of time to prove himself and may, indeed, start […]
Notes From Yesterday
Carlos Beltran played center field for the first time this spring. After the game he admitted that he’s not up to playing the field for 9 innings. Beltran also spoke about the joys of fatherhood. Mike Pelfrey pitched 4 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits. It wasn’t his best outing but […]
Maine Starts Today
John Maine gets the start today against the St. Louis Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, FL. Maine won 15 games last year, his first full year as a starter, and he’ll be counted on to pitch more to the level of his first half of 2007 than his second half. If he can […]
Many Open Questions
With spring training starting this week it’s time to to ask some questions that the Mets will be facing this season. Here are some I came up with. Feel free to leave your own in the comments. Top of the rotation – This is what Mets fans have been dreaming of all off season. Johan […]
More Pitching Updates
The Mets will reportedly need to give up John Maine if they hope to land Oakland’s Dan Haren. It also seems that no longer having Lastings Milledge as a bargaining chip may hurt the Mets run at Haren. Livan Hernandez remains a possibility if the Mets fail to land Johan Santana, Haren or Erik Bedard. […]
